Paul Shane's agent of 15 years, Linda Kremer, said the actor died following a short illness and surrounded by friends and family in a hospice in his hometown of Rotherham.
Paul Shane was a consummate professional, a true gentleman, a good friend, and a joy to work with. He didn't suffer fools, always maintained his sense of humour, never stinted on the time he gave to his fans. He lightened my life and I'll miss him enormously.
